[EN] Public procurement in Spain accounts for about 20% of the country's Gross
Domestic Product. The large amounts of money that are moving in this area and the
growing social concern about knowing what the public money is invested forces
administrations to adopt measures on transparency and openness of public data. It is in
this profile, in which this work is framed, on the one hand, does the public know how
transparent the public administration is, and on the other hand, the administration
knows what the optimal characteristics for each contract ?
The obstacles to comparing this type of information are based on the lack of
details of the contracting portals, the different categorizations, the normative plurality
and, in short, the difficulty of access to information.
The information of the tenders is mostly published in the different portals of
contracting of the Autonomous Communities, in addition to the national portal of public
sector contracts. Even so, there remains a great difficulty of access and understanding.
These evidences demonstrate that the development of this project will be
relevant for the target audience. In a bid for the transparency of public administrations,
the re-use of bidding data and public sector contracts and the improvement of access to
information by citizens, proposes the creation of a technological tool capable of making
comparisons between contracts and find the existing relationships.
An advance of this project was presented to "Challenges Contribute 2017: The value
of the data for the Administration" being selected as one of the ten finalists in Phase I of
the 45 projects presented. Phase II of the Challenge will be held in the month of October
of this same year.
